Who are NCLR’s leaders?

NCLR President Janet Murguia has emerged as a key figure among the next generation of leaders in the Latino community. She began her career in Washington, DC as legislative counsel to former Kansas Congressman Jim Slattery, serving for seven years. She then worked at the White House in various capacities from 1994 to 2000, ultimately as deputy assistant to President Clinton and deputy director of legislative affairs, serving as a senior White House liaison to Congress. Prior to joining NCLR, she was the Executive Vice Chancellor for University Relations at the University of Kansas, overseeing the university's internal and external relations with the public, including governmental and public affairs, and coordinating the university's strategic planning and marketing efforts.

Murguia has served on the National Council of La Raza’s Board of Directors and on the Kauffman Foundation Youth Development Board. She is currently a Board member of the Independent Sector, a coalition of leading nonprofits, foundations, and corporations committed to connecting, informing, and advocating on behalf of the nonprofit and philanthropic community. She also serves on the Board of Trustees for YouthFriends, a nationally recognized school-based mentoring effort. Recently, Hispanic magazine selected Murguia for its annual list of "100 Top Latinas" for the second consecutive year. Additionally, she was named by Hispanic Business magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics" and as one of "80 Elite Hispanic Women."

The NCLR Board Chair is Mónica Lozano, Publisher and CEO of La Opinión, the nation's largest Spanish-language daily which is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Under her direction, La Opinión has entered into important strategic partnerships with key media companies, nonprofits, government, and private business. These efforts have included a program to inform one million Latino parents about education issues, the development and statewide distribution of annual health-related supplements, an outreach campaign on the Cal-Grants program on behalf of the State of California, and a series of seminars for small business owners.

She serves on the Board of Directors of the Walt Disney Company and Tenet Health Care Corporation. In 2001, she was appointed to the University of California Board of Regents, and has also served on the Board of Trustees of the University of Southern California since 1990. She sits on numerous nonprofit boards, including the California HealthCare Foundation.
